ASHKIRK [parish] Ashkirk The County Map
The New Statistical account
Fullerton's Gazetteer		 012; 013; 018; 019 The origin of the name of this parish is obviously Angl-Saxon, and we find it, in the records of the 12th century, spelt "Aschechyne" and AschechirK; and in more modern times, we find AshKirK, & AsKirk - AshKirk being the present name. From the large quantity of Ash Trees - with which the parish abounded, a considerable number of which still surround the church-yard, there can be no doubt regarding the origin of the name. This parish is situated in the counties of Roxburgh & SelKirK. [continued on page 2]
